duct of civilization was nowhere else de-
veloped in such perfection. The octo-
genarian LOndoness has been in society
let us say the highest society-all her
days. She is as tough as an old macaw.
or she would not have lasted SO long. She
has seen and talked with all the celebri-
ties Of three generations, all the beauties
of at least half a dozen decades. Her
wits have been kept bright by constant
use, and as she is free of speech it re-
quires some courage TO face her. Yet
nobody can be more agreeable, even to
young persons, than one Of these precious
old dowagers. A great beauty is almost
certainly thinking how she looks when
one is talking with her; an authoress is
waiting to have one praise her book; but
